VENUE: Empire Theatre, Toowoomba
Featuring the beloved classic songs, When You Wish Upon a Star and I’ve Got No Strings, alongside a host of new songs by Oscar and Grammy Award winner and master melodist, Stephen Schwartz, tackling timely issues about what it means to be ‘the perfect child’, and what it means to be ‘a real father’.
This family-friendly musical is a magical mix of heartwarming fairytale and action-packed adventure. Audiences will love following Pinocchio’s journey from an awkward wooden puppet to a real, live boy and will be charmed by Geppetto’s transformation from a demeaning creator to a real, live father.
